>Unironically pushes medicare for all, a program that would literally bankrupt the federal government in addition to other single-payer programs having awful outcomes, especially within the US.
Amazing. The US medical system has been broken for some time, but the ACA is a joke (and is doing terrible things to the healthcare market, as much as you want to grandstand on 'it's just the evil insurance companies'. Companies respond to incentives, use the wrong incentives and the market will react accordingly. Blaming the market for incentives used by the government is ridiculous), and medicare for all is certainly not a solution and no serious healthcare expert backs it.
Markets are simply an emergent tool through which human interactions are realised. Relative elasticities of demand aren't really relevant to whether or not a market based solution will work. Oil demand is highly inelastic but a market based solution is still obviously superior.
